This document provides guidance and related references for the evaluation and reporting of measurement uncertainty in testing in order to fulfil expectations of the relevant clauses of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The document also aims to assist laboratories in understanding the common approach taken by accreditation bodies when performing assessments against these requirements included in ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance to accreditation bodies in describing scopes of accreditation in order to allow an effective and harmonised application among ILAC MRA signatories in relation to the relevant International Standards. One of the key roles of an accreditation body is to ensure (to an adequate degree of confidence) that the conformity assessment body has the competence to perform all of the services defined in the scope of accreditation. The description and assessment of the scope of accreditation therefore represents the core of the accreditation process.
